"content": "They do not have to seek permission. If committees want to investigate--- Why is it that hon. Members are not interrogated even when they are sitting in Committees? What do they investigate, inquire into and report, as provided in Standing Order No. 216? You do not require the resolution of the House if it is a matter do with the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. Remember also in all fairness, our own Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, does guarantee the right to go on strike and the right to demonstrate. I am sure Members of the Eleventh Parliament are quite alive to the very violent demonstrations that happened sometimes in the last Session and everybody just said: “Let them exercise their freedom to do so.” If it is a matter about people who want to go on strike out there, to picket or to go on a go-slow, the best that the House can do is to express sympathy and possible support and no more. That is because it is a constitutionally guaranteed right."
